Revalidation - for family docs

Family doctors will begin the revalidation process in 2012. While that may seem like a long time in the future, you should already start to collect evidence if you wish to earn the necessary 50 learning credits.

Luckily, revalidation does not seem like it will be too much of bureaucratic process - more paperwork is the last thing we need.

Then Again, it is essential to ensure that GPs are staying abreast of medical research and any new breakthroughs.

After all, we are the first point of contact between patients and the NHS, so it is highly important that we provide a service that can't be beat - and revalidation should ensure this.
